Compressed cardboard or cardstock
Also known as: cover stock, paperboard, pasteboard, tag board
Preparation
• Store media flat, in a clean environment with the same or similar temperature and
humidity as the printer. Changes in temperature or humidity will cause the material to
warp.
• Some coated sheets may interact with the ink yielding poor image quality. Test coated
materials for compatibility before purchasing significant quantities.
• Clean with a lint-free cloth to remove any dust and debris.
• Use gloves when handling the media to avoid transferring fingerprints and oils to the print
surface.
• The material can bend and crease easily. Watch for edges that may strike the carriage.
Recommended print modes
• Depending on application, ink coverage and image content, all print modes may print
acceptably.
Printing
• Select Card Stock when configuring and loading these media.
• Some colored media may not be able to be detected by the onboard camera. If so, create a
copy of the Card Stock media using the Media Wizard and change the Detectable by
Printer option to No.
• Use the lowest possible UV lamp power setting to cure the ink.
• Use a Card Stock media profile from the RIP software.
• Some materials are more porous and absorb the ink giving a washed out appearance. Use
the RIP software’s Saturated Rendering Intent option to increase saturation.
Output handling
• Use gloves to avoid transferring fingerprints and oils to the print surface.
• Use caution when lifting it off table to avoid creases.
